YOUNGSTERS celebrated the opening of an adventurous new youth club.

Villagers unveiled the new youth activity club in Great Tey at a special ceremony.

The previous village youth club folded five years ago due to a lack of support.

Residents raised funds to revive it and it reopened last month at the village hall in Chappel Road with a new emphasis on activities.

It will now join with the Essex Association of Boys’ Clubs every six weeks to offer archery, shooting, rock climbing, paintballing and football to youngsters aged 11 to 17.
